    Y’all do realize that Gmail has been reading your emails and attachments from the start, right?

    Someone please explain why doing that for ads isn’t terrible, but how this crosses the line?

    The reasons not to trust Google are as old and numerous as the trees.

      This crosses a line because information will be exfiltrated. Gemini will be telling someone that I gave bubba a blow.

        Your data is exfiltrated and sold for ads. You don’t even need to buy an ad, bidders on ads can see your data

          They cannot see my data, they can give target parameters like ‘show to those who are private banking customers’ or ‘show to females in the 20s with daddy issues’.
